Frank Furness was an architect in the heavy Victorian style of the early 20th century. He practice in Philadelphia, PA, and many of his buildings are still standing in the city and surrounding region. I have always been drawn to architecture, and in my early years painted several “Furness pieces”, some of which I will show in today’s post. Once again I apologize for the quality of the images, they were scanned from some old slides taken in the very early 80’s.
